Speaking of "truth darts," sometimes they are best thrown in response to something (like above), but sometimes they can be even more powerful if delivered "a la carte."
Once, I just walked up to my wife sitting at the kitchen table. We hadn't spoken much in a couple of days, and she was smack-dab in the middle of her EA/PA. I didn't preface this with ANYTHING, not even a "hi" or a "I want to tell you something." Just walked up, looked her dead in the eye from about five feet away, and said "Have you ever stopped to consider just how DESTRUCTIVE what you're doing is to the kids?"
I stammered something, tried weakly to defend herself, but I had already turned and left the room.
